            CC(rho_ref,rho_opt)      :   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00   1.00
            R(%)                     :   5.96   5.96   5.96   5.96   5.96   5.96   5.96   4.65   2.67   0.00
            CC(q,B):     0.75

In cases where the CC(q,B) is poor like this, it seems to be because the B factor has pegged at 1.0, which it reaches at occupancy 0.7.  Then as occupancy continues to decrease to 0.1, B remains the same, so CC(q,B) is low.

And it is not surprising the CC(rho_ref,rho_opt) is very good in all cases, since you hardly change the shape of the map by dropping B by 9A^2.  Note that if you set occupancy to 0.01 and didn't change the B-factor at all you would still get CC(rho_ref,rho_opt) =1. This doesn't mean we can't distinguish occupancy 0.01 from 1.0!

It _is_ surprising that R also doesn't change as the occupancy drops from .7 to .1 with no compensation by B. This tells me there is some scaling going on in the calculation of R.  In a real case with thousands of atoms, the scale would be fixed by the great majority of atoms at occupancy 1.0, and low occupancy for this atom would make a difference. So i suggest the R factor should be calculated without scaling. R going through the roof would then tell us that B is not successfully compensating for q.  But I agree a 3-d plot of R vs B and q is the best way to show this.

For this let's take an atom and plot its electron density distribution with occupancy q=1 and some B value; let's call this density rho_ref (reference map). Then let's vary occupancy from 0.1 to 1.0 (with step 0.1) and for each trial occupancy value find such B_opt that corresponding electron density distribution fits rho_ref as good as possible; let's call it rho_opt (map corresponding to optimal B_opt). In the end we will have ten occupancy values and ten corresponding optimal B values so that we can calculate the correlation between two sets of numbers (q, B_opt). In addition let's calculate correlation and R-factor for rho_ref and rho_opt.
